The Kern County Scottish Society was established in July 1971. The KERN COUNTY SCOTTISH SOCIETY is a non-profit organization formed to promote the rich Scottish heritage and cultural traditions in Kern County.

Some of these traditions include: The Highland Games and Gathering (including the Ceilidh), The Celtic Music Festival, Highland and Scottish Country Dancing, Genealogy, Piping and Drumming, Tartans, Highland Dress, High Tea, Robbie Burns' Supper, Gaelic, the native language of the Highland and Islands.

You don't have to be Scottish to join the Society; all that is asked of you is to share an interest in things Scottish. The Society was formed to promote Scottish heritage and cultural traditions in Kern County, and gather for social functions.
